Following Danny Murphy's recent comments about Liverpool letting some decent players go over the past few years it got me thinking...

Could you make up a 'best XI' of current ex-LFC player (ie ones that still play) that could rival our current squad?

Here goes...


                               Friedel

Finnan           Arbeloa           Hyypia         Riise

                              Sissoko

                   Alonso              Murphy

    Anelka                                             Bellamy

                               Crouch


Looks like a decent lineup to me... apart from Arbeloa at centre half which is a bit dodgy!!

If you sub in Keane for Anelka and Kirkland for Friedel then that's a whole XI (and a good XI) sold by Benitez alone!

arbeloa  hyypia  hobbs   riise

         sissoko   alonso

anelka   luis garcia   kewell

              bellamy


i'm not completely convinced about bellamy as the out and out frontman, but generally as a goalscorer i prefer him to cisse, owen, keane, morientes, heskey etc, and i'm assuming we are talking about their current level rather than in their prime, which means that robbie sadly doesn't get a look in. crouchie would be on my bench to give us 'options and possibilities'

Noone going for Biscan at CB? Is Henchoz still playing (as a possible alternative) ? Or for that matter perhaps Medjani or even bambi on ice himself. Noone going for El Spit?

Half thought about throwing Igor in at the back but then came to my senses. :D  Interesting that no one's plumped for Palleta to partner Sami, or has everyone forgotten all about him?  :laugh:
